Strategies

Own the 15 highest-quality stocks (by Relative Strength + fundamentals). Rebalance monthly. Buy new entries near the rising 21-EMA. Hold until quality deteriorates or the trailing stop is hit — no chart pattern required. The engine's core, proven money-compounding strategy: cut losses fast, let winners run.

Buy a former leader that washed out — 20-25%+ off its 52-week high — once it makes a confirmed higher low, shows bullish RSI divergence, and reclaims its downtrend line. A 5-stage lifecycle (ALERT → TRIGGER → CONFIRMATION → FULL) sizes in gradually as the thesis confirms. Excellent risk profile so far (tiny drawdown), but the sample is still thin.

Buy a quality leader breaking out of a base on volume — the classic IBD method. Quality ≥ 80, early-stage bases only, accumulation-rated, buy zone within 5% of the pivot. Real, honestly re-validated edge (breakout-only filtering, excluding pullback dilution, improved Sharpe ~25%) — but still too weak to clear the statistical proof bar, even under generous accounting.

Buy an already-strong leader (uptrend: price above both the 50- and 200-day SMA, 50-day rising) when it dips to and decisively reclaims whichever of the 10/20/50-day SMAs is nearest to price — treating the three as one confluence support zone rather than a single fixed period — adding to a winner, not fishing for a bottom. Generalizes the earlier single-MA design (10/21/50/150/200 swept, 50 days the prior winner); the confluence zone catches more, shallower dips at a real cost in win rate and drawdown. Passed independent CPCV validation.
